Subject: Hello fans, it's a bee-yoo-tiful day for a Grateful Dead concert!
The day began in SF with the shout of runners in the Bay to Breakers, followed shortly afterward by sirens, as a power transformer downtown had blown up, sending a plume of smoke skyward. Why not ride BART across the Bay? With a ticket procured in minutes, the stage was set for a day of music. The highlights for this set of ears were the rollicking version of Deal (and one of the best-crafted, always-in-the-groove Garcia solos I've heard), and the spirited Help/Slipknot/Tower. What doesn't show up so well in the audio recording was the appearance of Airto Moreira and Billy Cobham at the drum sets, to give Mickey & Bill a break, and John Cipollina adding slide guitar on Not Fade Away. The audio quality is a step or two up from the cassette that I had for years, although I do appreciate the 'head who got that into my hands.

My first run of GD shows at the Greek. Introduced to the band at Frost '82, and by May of '83 I was already hook-line-and-sinkered. I am so eternally grateful that I got to see so many special shows back then. If the cost is being an old guy now, well then, it was well worth it!!!! Blissful memories that can always put a smile on my face.

These rango Rango keshavan Fob's have always ranked up high in my book. Some of the fuller sounding mics I wonder why they weren't adoped more by other tapers.
beautiful show

One of the best of '83. Can't go wrong with five-fifteen. I only wish I could have been there. Lose yourself as you listen. Pure Art.

Indeed the reviewers previous to me here have noted all the great moments of the show and it was all that good. It was a beautiful sunny day and the anticipation that we would get the newly outed "Help On the Way/Slipknot!" was permeating the crowd. The highlight definitely was when Bob Weir surprised Mr. Healy with a birthday rendition before the 2nd set. Poor Dan got really upset....why? Poor Dan had a "birthday" gram of coke in his lap and the whole thing spilled......."Help On the Way"........

I love this second set...Help Slipknot Franklins is one of my personal favorite versions...Samson and Delilah features some fiery picking from Jerry...He's Gone is played at that perfect Dead groove tempo...the drums space is definitely worth a listen...a decent Truckin' emerges post space, but this winds into one of the best Stella Blues of the 80s...this version is fully developed and features a beautiful and perfect Garcia solo during the middle break...Jerry also treats us to an excellent closing solo that peaks with some classic fanning on the Tiger...the closing string of tunes are well played...

Subject: Happy Birthday Dan Healy !
Subject: Happy Birthday Dan Healy !
It should be noted not only about the effects Healy was doing as they wished him well, before Help on the Way, (Even though the Help/Slip's they did this year with one or two exceptions weren't as long and developed as back in '76-'77, we were still quite happy to be seeing that again); but furthermore, John Chipollina joined at the end ! This was probably, but I have to double check; his last appearance with Grateful Dead ! I was lucky enough to have seen almost all of his appearances.
During his appearance wasn't the first in fact, the 5th(?) time starting in New York somewhere, with one(?) lone exception, a year or two before, after perhaps as long as 1971; that they returned to the trend which you'll know remained more or less from this tour forward, that of closing with Not Fade Away !
Besides these facts, it was still a pretty solid show. The first set was fun with Brown Eyed Women and Looks like Rain being quite good ! I'll never forget for example my buddy Paul Sepalla nudging me to tell me that they'd been improvising for ~18 mins. after He's Gone. In addition to Chipollina, I was also lucky enough to see almost all of Flora Purim and Airto Morera's appearances as well, who contributed to this setion !
Of course, there are many shows when these tunes, jams and the following shined; yet having seen many, although I still wouldn't say the following were my most favorite, nevertheless the Stella Blue out of Truckin' was quite well developed ! Moreover, the Throwin' Stones was still in it's relatively early stage of evolution !
